Abstract: The invention concerns a rope knotting device for the securing of pairs of rope sections which have at least one connection point (7) of rope sections (2,3) which have been brought together and originate from at least one rope (1), whereby each respective connection point (7) is connectable via a rope connector (15), which has at least two connectors (16, 35), and which by means of a rivet (37) of a rivet connection are connectable to each other, whereby the rivet (37) at least in part extends along a recess (18). By virtue of the fact that the rivet (37) of the two connectors connects at least in part with of one of the two connectors (35) and the head (38) of the free end of the rivet (37), when the rivet connection has been made, protrudes into an extended receptor (21) which borders on the recess (18), the rivet head can be dispensed with entirely and the other rivet head is integral into the extended receptor in such a manner that, without any great degree of protrusion, the rivet head is actually an integrated component of the other connector.

Abstract: One embodiment of the invention is a method for forming a raised structure on a semiconductor wafer. In the method, a patterned masking layer is formed over a wafer layer. The patterned masking layer typically includes a first mask covering a first region of the wafer layer and at least one side mask adjacent to the first mask, covering a side region of the wafer layer. After forming the patterned masking layer, exposed portions of the wafer layer adjacent the masks are removed using the patterned masking layer. This leaves a first raised structure (relative to an adjacent removed area) in the first substrate region and a sacrificial raised structure in the side region adjacent the first raised structure. After removing the exposed portions of the wafer layer, the sacrificial raised structure is selectively removed while leaving the first raised structure intact. The sacrificial raised structure and overlying side mask typically reduce the area of the wafer layer which would otherwise be exposed during the removal. This facilitates the formation of the vertical sidewall on the raised structure.

Abstract: A fluidized bed reduction reactor has a plurality of fluidized bed reactors (10) with inner gas distributors (19). A charge duct (12) passes through the top of the fluidized bed reactor (10) with a free end to charge a fine iron ore into said reactor (10). The free end of the iron ore charging duct (12) is positioned close to the top center of the gas distributor (19). A spiral-shaped partition weir (13) is placed over the gas distributor and surrounds the iron ore charging duct (12) while being spirally extended to an inner wall of the fluidized bed reactor (10) where it is fixed. The fine iron ore is fluidized and reduced while spirally flowing from the center of the fluidized bed reactor (10) to its inner wall. In this structure, the back mixture phenomenon where the reacted fine iron ore is mixed with the non-reacted fine iron ore does not occur.

Abstract: SAW devices such as interdigital transducers (IDTs) have been widely used in RADAR applications and as filters. An IDT produces a SAW when excited by a single electrical pulse and can be fabricated to embody a code, which code provides for a passive autocorrelation of a SAW input to the IDT and thereby lends itself to further application as a signal generator in a communication device. However, internal dimensions of IDTs are inversely proportional to operating frequency, such that high frequency IDTs present significant manufacturing difficulties. Fabrication of IDTs for high frequency applications is simplified by exploiting a harmonic frequency SAW generated by IDTs. An IDT may therefore be designed according to fundamental frequency internal dimension criteria but can operate at a multiple of the fundamental frequency, thereby providing much higher frequency operation than conventional SAW systems. A communication system based on SAW harmonic techniques would be low-cost, low-power, small and simple alternative to known short range communications schemes, including for example the BIuetooth TM  solution. Operation of a second harmonic SAW system at 2.4 GHz based on a fundamental frequency of 1.2 GHz is contemplated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a messaging system, message traffic is transmitted on one or more traffic channels (T1, T2 ) and the allocation of groups (S1, S2 ) of receivers to the traffic channels (T1, T2 ) is controlled by information transmitted on a bulletin board channel (BB). A predetermined number of frames before a change in the traffic channel allocation, a countdown value is transmitted in the relevant traffic channel (T1) and the countdown value is decremented in each subsequent frame. Before the countdown value reaches zero, the groups of receivers (S1, S2) retune to the bulletin board channel, receive their new channel allocations and retune to the traffic channel indicated for their group. The frame timings of the different traffic channels (T1, T2 ) are staggered to reduce the peak power required to transmit message bursts in these channels. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In determining a coding block raster on which a decoded signal is based, a segment of the decoded signal is picked out first (11), said segment beginning at a certain output sampling value of the decoded signal. Said segment is then converted into a spectral representation (12), whereupon said spectral representation is then evaluated in relation to a predetermined criterion (13) in order to obtain an evaluation result for the segment. This procedure is repeated for a plurality of different segments beginning at different output sampling values each, in order to obtain a plurality of evaluation results. Finally, the plurality of the evaluation results is searched (14) in order to establish the evaluation result that has an extreme value as compared to the other evaluation results, in such a way that it can be assumed that the segment to which this evaluation result is allocated matches the coding block raster on which the decoded signal is based. According to the invention, this method can be used to determine the coding block raster for any decoded signal that has no explicit information about its coding block raster.
